Reddit reviews 1 lb. Fresh Jumbo Lump Crabmeat

You realize $40k a year is $20/hour right?

And that crab meat is about $60/pound at minimum wages so what do you think it would be when you increase the wage by 150% or more when the vast majority of the production cost is in labor (since it's all handpicked)?

Also, how much do you pay for a gallon of milk and where do you live? I live in New England and pay $4 per gallon, but we also have one of the highest paid farming industries in the country:

So it almost certainly will raise the prices, especially in a labor intensive industry like hand-picked crab meat. In the case of crab meat though, it is considered a luxury product and a price increase has little impact on the consumers other than them not getting their comfort food. Milk on the other hand is almost a necessity, especially if you are raising young children, and the fact remains that any price increase on a necessity for life will adversely affect the poorest population the most while impacting the richest population the least. So simply raising wages across the board in food production is a very bad, almost Republican, idea without additional subsidies to offset the negative impact on the poorest segment of the population.
